Valentine's Day

I love Valentine's day! Pink and red clothes, chocolates, heart shaped everything, and another opportunity to give presents! Instead of going on a date, Dustin and I usually spend the night with the kids and it's my favorite.

{a new joy this year: matching pink and red for my pretty girls!}

Dustin stopped in with roses and chocolates for me, and a rose for Kennedy, in the middle of the morning. It was a lovely surprise. I love my guy, and that he makes both of us girls feel so special...Hadley, when you won't eat your rose, I'm sure you'll get one too.

This year for our fancy dinner we got a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. It felt just a little too easy to me, but the kids loved it.


And for dessert - what is better than Valentine sugar cookies?

A huge Valentine sugar cookie that has your name all over it. Literally.


One of my favorite Valentines day when I was a kid, my mom made my brothers, sister and I huge, personalized, heart sugar cookies. I decided to try to surprise Dustin and the monkey's with their own this year. I think they turned out so cute, I was so proud of myself that the writing turned out.
No professional training whatsoever. :)


Hadley is definitely my kid. She loved having bites of hers.
(don't worry, she shared with mom...)

I love these guys. They are so easy to please!

And pretty cute, too.

Nothing better...

...after a warm tub, than laying by the fire, chewing on and talking to your diaper.
Nothing cuter, either.

And just because...


...she's so cute! This is a little slow, since this is her "official" 6 month photo shoot, and she is almost 8 months, I can hardly believe it!


She is the funniest, happiest, sweetest little thing. She grins at anyone who will look at her and has everyone making incredibly stupid faces at her to keep the smiles coming. We all still fight over who gets to hold her.

{My model and my assistant}


Her brother and sister jump to answer every whim (communicated with grunts and squeals), and are happy about it. This little monkey has completely stolen our hearts. And it doesn't look like we'll be getting them back any time soon.

And no, the tongue isn't always out...


but almost.

Panheads...


Here is Hudson rockin' out to our new favorite band, Skillet (mute the blog tunes so you can hear him at the end) . They are awesome, check 'em out here, watch what he's watching here. We are in love.

My pretty babies...


Just thought my sweeties all looked extra cute today...
Ready for 2nd grade...

Ready for pre-school...

Ready to watch mom Zumba :)

Ready for carpooling...
Don't recognize her? Meet the newest member of our family, Bella. Not because I'm a Twi-hard (I am) but because she looks, and smells, so beautiful...sigh.
Thank you for the awesome present on your birthday Dustin. I am spoiled!
